Get the process owner via PowerShell

Let’s say you’ve got an app that needs to be closed throughout your environment.
If you can identify that app by a running process, you’ll probably want to know who has the application/process still running.
For this goal I’ve written the following function in order to get the name of the owner (read: person running the app) of the process.
